PhotoWatch: Alerts

The best photo opportunities always seem to happen when you're not looking. Getting perfect light isn't an accident. It's just a case of doing the research. Chasing light at a coastal headland, a dark-sky ridge, a tidal rock platform you've been circling for months. It all takes time and effort. PhotoWatch watches those spots for you, around the clock. When weather, tides, and the night sky align, it finds you. HOW IT WORKS Tell PhotoWatch where you're going and what you're looking for. A glowing coastal sunrise. A clear Milky Way window. A low-tide rock platform at dusk. You can even tell it how far in advance you want to know. Then relax and forget about it. When conditions line up, PhotoWatch sends you a push notification with your favourable locations ranked, so you'll know where to head first. It will be quiet by default. You only hear from PhotoWatch when it's worth heading out. WHAT PHOTOWATCH MONITORS • Cloud cover at low, mid, and high atmospheric levels, the way photographers actually think about clouds rather than just "partly cloudy" • Rain and fog • Wind speeds and direction • Sunrise, sunset and moon timing • Galactic core visibility, including when the Milky Way clears the horizon and the sky is dark enough to shoot (Pro) • Tides and Swell including height, state and timing at your coastal spots (Pro) To top it all, the app works anywhere in the world.
